The Court observed that the complaint disclosed a prima facie case and found no jurisdictional error warranting interference under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). ADVERTISEMENTGupta had argued that the cheque in question belonged to a cheque book reported missing in 2022 and that payment had already been stopped through instructions issued to the bank. He contended that the cheque had been misused and that no legally enforceable liability existed. Rejecting the plea for quashing, the Court held that once the execution of the cheque is not disputed, the statutory presumption under Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act operates in favour of the holder. It also relied on an earlier decision involving the same petitioner, where similar pleas had been rejected with liberty to raise them before the trial court.
